Makeup artists keen to emulate the style of one of Hollywood's most famous leading ladies - Marilyn Monroe - may be surprised to hear about her unusual beauty regime.
In an article for the Daily Mirror, Danielle Lineker provided tips on how to achieve a 21st-century take on the icon's classic look.
The starlet was said to layer five different lipsticks to create "an illusion of depth and volume" with darker reds on the outer corners and lighter shades in the middle.
When it comes to skincare, Monroe is believe to have employed a strict cleansing and nightly moisturising routine, which ensured her face was in the perfect condition for applying highlighter and powder for contouring.
Meanwhile, false eyelashes and a liner mixed from gold and brown shades helped the actress to achieve her sultry look.
Monroe remains one of the most iconic women of the 20th century, despite having passed away in 1962 at the age of 36.
